From 0e08dfffb830ffdbb4185bcec1b8176cd27f2781 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mathias Bergqvist Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2026 16:46:52 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] fix(config): rewrite all skill discipline files for simplified model MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Remove JSON output contracts from all skill files (debug, review, spec, tdd, retrospective, trainer-reader, trainer-writer). Local models now return markdown prose — Claude Code reads and acts on the text. Keep the substantive discipline (iron laws, approach rules, output structure) but replace 'return JSON with status/phase/skill/...' with clear markdown format instructions.
